Happy birthday Eve + My Clothes, My Hair

Had a great weekend... I believe Evelyn's had a great weekend too... Exciting workout on her birthday~~ Wahaha (ask her about it!)... and also a shock on her Saturday bday celebration with the car (thank God it's all good now!).


Yeah... Judah 6 and 8 celebrating for her after LG~

Here are some other random funny photos!!


Eugene (feat Shannon)... lol.. song name?



Yum...!



Wahaha... Find Shannon!

We also had a great time hitting the West End of Brisbane together... too bad the photos haven't been uploaded! So I'm still waiting!

Testimonies after testimonies... Eve also shared her testimony at church today... a testimony that blessed so many hearts out there....

I've been so blessed just seeing God's hand in so many people's lives... from those in my family.. to those around me here.. and to those I've been following on Twitter...... and to even strangers... God has been so real! It blesses my heart each time I log onto Twitter and my feeds are flooded with short tweets by everyone praising God for something that just happened awhile ago! God is good yeah!

Yeah... so I told Nicole I'mma put her prayers needs up on my blog! So let's engage our best weapons now...

Let's pray for... 2 points today!
1. Evelyn will get her internship!
2. Nicole will get a part time job in Brisbane so she can afford to go to OC2010!

Thanks y'all...

Australia Day is on Tuesday... so it'll be a public holiday.. not for me though, I gotta head back to work... thankfully not the whole day! But yeah... it'll be James' birthday too, so we'll be doing something I guess..!

1 more week until I'm officially not in Judah 6... wah... bittersweet.
But I believe God has a great plan ahead! Go4GOD!

I was talking to Jessica in the car on the way home just now... and I mentioned something I read from Van Ness kor kor lately... 'You will never possess what you don’t pursue…Go4GOD~and the rest will follow.'

Some how I'm deeply encouraged.... and I was able to encourage her in the same way. Reminds me of what our was preached in church today... Be an encourager!

Mmm... and just wanna say kudos to Ray Chan's preaching today. I was greatly blessed by his preaching.... I'm sure he has been putting a lot of effort and time to make it fun for us!

Alright.. before I leave us at this and do my Japanese revision and head to bed.... Just wanna share with you another song from The Ambassador - My Clothes, My Hair.

Another awesome song that highlights the reality of God's love for us, regardless of our culture and interests! God loves you for who you are!

My Clothes, My Hair


And here of course, here are the lyrics.. listen and reading it at the same time makes you enjoy the rap more!

[Chorus]
So many people are hurt inside
Don't even know him even though they might have heard of God
Can He love me? Will He hear my prayer?
Or, think I'm ugly when He see's my clothes or sees my hair

I heard of a Savior heard He bled and died
We could give Him our sins and we could get his life
Yet I wonder for me if He will He even care
When He sees my clothes or when he sees my hair

[Verse One]
Let me get up in this verse right now
I'm thinking back to when we first got down
I only groped but when you searched I found
Snatched quick though you knew how I acted
That's what's sick, I was a pick that you drafted?
A backflip with a split couldn't be more backwards
In fact that's classic
I love to see your tactics
But I think back to when I'd shrink back on the real B
It's real deep; I really thought you could never feel me
Cause my shirts were double X when really I was a small
Double shirts for the effect when really it wasn't called for
Pants baggie- they sagged and dragged on the floor
But I was never that boy to show the back of his draws
But I did hang, kicked slang, me and my boys did
Rocked doo-rags till it put a crease in our foreheads
And on the surface others said we were worthless
But I'm glad you purposed to love us and you made us your purchase

[Chorus]

[Verse Two]
I was convinced of your power so I was down to comply with Your standard
Your God the Father- Creator- I was your product
But I noticed my focus it wasn't on You; my hope was you would
Meet me heaven but as for earth I'd roll with the hood
I really didn't want your heaven- just didn't want hell more
I really didn't want your presence- just didn't want hell more
I didn't know you were beautiful
You made advances but in fact I'd push you back like a cuticle
I was a bad date
But, now I know what it was you got lumped in with some people like a crab cake
They elevate their own; they celebrate
They make their own what's right
They say it's what you like
Everything else- they make it wrong
I'm glad you don't hate our music or fashion
Unless these things and how you intend us to use 'em are clashin'
Cause for us, this is just a part of the culture
But it's the reason why some think they shouldn't try to approach ya

[Bridge]
Man sees the outside
But God sees the inside
No matter your outside
Through faith He'll come inside (2x)

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
I could weep
So many people never heard of the name
Yeah they heard the word "Jesus" but never heard of His fame
They feel cut off from Him
Not just cause of their sin
But because of their clothes, hair, or their color of skin
And they've been afloat- drowning in sin, we're in a boat
Yet they've never been approached
Cause we see them as different folks
God's offer's universal- yeah
He wants you in His circle- yeah
He wants you in the doo-rag
And He wants you in the purple hair
You can just take a cursory
Glance at the word and see
God made the plans of diversity
Is there one godly ethnic group
In the church should we all wear one polyester suit
Or maybe rock sandals and robes, no ham I suppose
When we meet maybe we should only eat salmon and loaves
Should we only like the organ or the violin
I'm inquirin', I admire men up in the choir and women
But one minute, why do some people assume that God's iPod
Got no tunes that got the "boom-bap"
He's with White, with Black, with Lat
With Asian with Rock, Country, Jazz, with Rap
